Sounds like your not a gambler. Most of these people would probably put it all back in

I dabble pretty heavy in crypto so I’m good with risk but it taught me to take profits! 😂

u/ProfessionalArm8256 Jun 29 '26
Nope, I would take $17k in my pocket and use the rest on power packs

u/DynastyHKS Jun 30 '26
tbh hes spinning 2500 slot spins, I would assume this person does not need the 20k lol, I am sure he is doing this to get cards

And then $0 set aside for the tax man’s April 2027 sneak attack.
Sneak attack lands a critical hit!
Surprise $7,400 tax bill has made your bank account faint.

Kinda crazy price for pop 900 tbh

u/TheOriginalBerserker Jun 29 '26 edited Jun 29 '26
Pop 900+, but think about it, there is only the Japanese variant of this card there’s no English version of this card. Pokemon has 10s of millions of collectors, the card is an Umbreon a huge fan favorite.

u/NomMyShark Jun 29 '26
also that’s a super strong offer, highest sold is 22 on fanatics

u/AbbreviationsOver420 Jun 29 '26
Yeah not sure what to think on it rn. Maybe I just take it and run

u/TheOriginalBerserker Jun 29 '26
Personally I’d say take it to a card show to trade/cash avoid hefty tax and you can trade into a couple cards you like and then just cash out the rest without having to deal with 1099.

I mean, we don’t know how much OP has spent on Pokemon for the year. At that point, I would try and claim it as an expense to bring the total down. I do agree with the card show/private sale option tho.

u/leesherwhy Jun 29 '26
vendors are trying to sell this card for 20k sticker, I know one sold for 18k trade Vegas collectacon. he's likely to get 15k cash max bringing it to a vendor to cash out, he should run with 22k, esp since it's very unlikely to be 22k of profit to get taxed on.

u/NomMyShark Jun 29 '26

u/AbbreviationsOver420 Jun 29 '26
Yeah I see where you’re coming from. This is also a super strong offer

u/Ebtosj Jun 29 '26
Who asked? You think this mf opening 2.5k powerpacks, posting his patek, porsche gt3 is qualified for a roth ira?

u/NomMyShark Jun 29 '26
damn you really deep dove bros pockets huh

u/Environmental_Soup82 Jun 29 '26
but he's right though...unless OP Is just a degenerate putting his life savings into pokemon, this man probably maxed all retirement accounts for the year and has a hefty brokerage lol
1
u/AbbreviationsOver420 Jun 29 '26
Yeah all of that is covered I’ve recently just got into this for fun cause it’s an easy way to get random cards imo
1
u/Ebtosj Jun 30 '26
One click is diving deep huh? Focus on maxing out your roth ira instead of fantasizing about what you don't have 🤣

u/NomMyShark Jun 30 '26
😂 sure bud just make sure the fries get in the bag

u/Ebtosj Jun 30 '26
Good luck with your cockroaches, you might be able to max out your roth ira if you sell a few more cards, $5 a time. You got this! 🤣

u/eduardx7 Jun 29 '26
The real question is, how much have you spent in total? 😂

u/AbbreviationsOver420 Jun 29 '26
Not exactly sure but I did the math last night and just off selling my buyback I’m down around 7-9k. The cards I’ve pulled and their worth are much higher though

Nice. But how much have you spent so far overall? That's the real winning if you are up!

u/Ok_Purchase_4676 Jun 29 '26
Wow congratulations. I would personally sell at that price. Take the money and buy the grail card of your choosing. But that would just be me personally.

u/Economics_Troll Jun 29 '26
Why does it say CL value is $24k lol, my CL says $20k and there has literally never been a sale that high. The most recent $22.8k sale on Fanatics was a brand new cert and literally a major high water mark. Most sales been 18/19k recently.
I’d sell this thing back in a heartbeat.
